Flysky FS-i6 2.4G 6CH AFHDS 2A RC Transmitter — Mode 1 & 2, IA6 / iA6B Receiver or No RX
$269.70
Descripción
The Flysky FS-i6 is a 2.4GHz 6-channel AFHDS 2A RC transmitter available in Mode 1 (right-hand throttle) or Mode 2 (left-hand throttle), with a choice of the IA6 or iA6B receiver, or as a transmitter-only option. It operates across the 2.40–2.48GHz band using Flysky’s Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System for reliable interference-resistant control. 20-model memory allows rapid profile switching between aircraft. The transflective STN display with white backlight provides clear readability in varied lighting. CE and FCC certified. Suited to fixed-wing aircraft, gliders, helicopters, and FPV drones. This listing carries limited stock across all variants — see the Inventory & Project Guarantee below before placing a multi-unit order.
Mode Guide — Mode 1 vs Mode 2
| Mode | Throttle Stick | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 | Right hand | Common in parts of Asia and Europe; available with IA6, iA6B, or No RX |
| Mode 2 | Left hand | Most common in North America, UK, and most of Europe; available with IA6, iA6B, or No RX |
Select the throttle mode you are trained on. Mode conversion after purchase is possible via gimbal adjustment but requires a re-learning period.
Receiver Guide — IA6 vs iA6B vs No RX
| Receiver | Channels | Output Protocols | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| IA6 | 6CH PWM | PWM, PPM | Traditional fixed-wing and glider builds; PWM/PPM only; no iBUS |
| iA6B | 6CH PWM | PWM, iBUS, PPM | Recommended — adds iBUS serial output for flight controller compatibility; receiver sensitivity -105dBm |
| No RX | — | — | Buyers who already own a compatible AFHDS 2A receiver; transmitter body only |
Both the IA6 and iA6B are AFHDS 2A compatible and bind natively with the FS-i6. The iA6B is the recommended choice for most buyers — it adds iBUS serial output for cleaner flight controller integration. ±5% tolerance on all stated specifications.

Why the FS-i6
- CE and FCC certified: This listing carries regulatory certification for both European and North American markets, confirming compliance with RF emissions and safety standards — relevant for buyers purchasing for educational or institutional use.
- 20-model memory: Store and recall settings for up to 20 aircraft profiles — trim, reverse, mixing, and bound receiver — switching between them in seconds from the transmitter menu.
- AFHDS 2A interference rejection: Second-generation frequency hopping delivers reliable link quality at club fields, parks, and FPV sites where multiple 2.4GHz RC systems operate simultaneously.
- iA6B iBUS output: The iA6B receiver adds iBUS serial connectivity — a single cable carries all channel data to compatible flight controllers, simplifying wiring in multi-channel drone and fixed-wing builds.
- iA6B -105dBm sensitivity: High receiver sensitivity extends effective range and improves link reliability in RF-noisy environments compared to lower-sensitivity receiver designs.
- Transflective STN display: Readable in direct sunlight and usable at dusk via the white backlight — practical across outdoor and transitional lighting conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the IA6 and iA6B?
A: The IA6 provides 6-channel PWM and PPM output only — no iBUS. The iA6B adds iBUS serial output (a single-wire connection to compatible flight controllers) and features a higher receiver sensitivity of -105dBm. For modern FPV and drone builds, the iA6B is the better choice. The IA6 remains suitable for traditional PWM servo setups such as conventional fixed-wing aircraft.
Q: Is this transmitter CE and FCC certified?
A: Yes. This FS-i6 listing is CE and FCC certified, confirming compliance with European and North American RF regulations. Buyers in other regions should confirm local import compliance independently.
Q: What does 20-model memory mean?
A: The FS-i6 can store settings for up to 20 different aircraft — including trim values, reverse settings, mixing, and bound receiver data. Switching between saved models takes seconds, making it practical for pilots who fly multiple aircraft from one transmitter.
Q: Can I use the FS-i6 with my existing AFHDS 2A receiver?
A: Yes. Select the No RX variant if you already own a compatible AFHDS 2A receiver. The FS-i6 is not compatible with first-generation AFHDS receivers or non-Flysky receivers without a third-party protocol module.
Q: This listing shows low stock — can I order multiple units?
A: Stock is limited across all variants (3–9 units per variant). If you need more than 2–3 units, contact us before ordering to confirm availability and discuss lead times for your required mode and receiver combination.
Care & Storage
- Batteries: Remove AA batteries during storage to prevent leakage. Check voltage before each session — RF output degrades before a low voltage alert triggers on weak cells.
- Antennas: Keep dual antennas clear during flight. Avoid pointing tips directly at the aircraft — signal null is strongest at the tip axis.
- Receiver: Mount the IA6 or iA6B away from ESCs, carbon fibre, and battery wiring. Route iBUS cables away from high-current lines for best signal integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture. Prolonged UV exposure degrades the STN display and plastic housing.
- Firmware: Update via Flysky’s official tools to maintain receiver compatibility.
Shipping & Handling
The FS-i6 transmitter and included receiver (if selected) are packed securely for international shipping. Standard tracked international shipping is included. Delivery typically takes 7–21 business days from dispatch depending on destination.
Please inspect the package upon delivery. If any component shows transit damage, contact us within 24 hours with photographs of the packaging and unit.
RC transmitters operating on the 2.4GHz band are subject to import and radio equipment regulations in some jurisdictions. Buyers are responsible for confirming local import compliance. VAT and customs duties beyond prepaid amounts are the responsibility of the customer.
